It is the black veil we all wear behind our eyes
A consuming darkness eats our insides
Dull bleak and blind, my sweet love despair
It grows inside like a hidden deformity
Smiles on the outside
Desperation within unstoppable insatiable
Why can't we see it in each other?
We could keep sorrow at bay
Broken hearts in broken hands
We could take your pain away
It shouldn't have to be this way

We suffer endless horizons until we can't suffer anymore
Comfort waits cold and peaceful at death's side
We don't blame you
